The National Day Nurseries Association is urging nurseries to take part in a short online survey to assess the impact of the Code of Practice on the PVI sector. The survey is completely anonymous and open to non-members. The NDNA wants to raise the issue of under-funding many nurseries are facing in offering the nursery education grant entitlement for three-and four-year-olds. NDNA chief executive Purnima Tanuku said, 'We want to gather evidence across the country to get a national picture of the scale of the problem.

NDNA chief executive Purnima Tanuku said, 'We want to gather evidence across the country to get a national picture of the scale of the problem.
Different local authorities have different ways of following the guidance.
It's an important issue that nobody knows the actual grant income per child. How councils are working out the formula to allocate funding to nurseries is not clear.'
The survey goes live today and closes on 1 December. Visit www.ndna.org.uk
to take part.
